Which Catalyst 9300 switches take C9300-NM-4M?

C9300-NM-4M fits C9300 modular-uplink switches such as C9300-24P-E, C9300-48P-E, C9300-24T-E and C9300-48T-E. Catalyst 9300X switches take C9300X-NM modules, and fixed-uplink C9300L and C9300LM models have no module slot. The slot accepts C9300 network modules only. Network modules do not work across generations.

What software release does C9300-NM-4M need?

C9300-NM-4M needs Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.8.1a as the minimum software release. The switch must also run with a network module or a blank module installed. The four copper ports appear as TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through TenGigabitEthernet1/1/4.

Is C9300-NM-4M required for a Catalyst 9300 switch to run?

No, C9300-NM-4M is an optional uplink module. The switch must still operate with either a network module or a blank module installed in the bay, so an empty bay is not allowed. Install a blank module if the four copper multigigabit uplink ports are not required.

What must be done with cables before installing or removing C9300-NM-4M?

Remove the cables from the module before installing or removing it. Every connected copper cable on the module ports must be unplugged first, then reconnected after the module is seated. This keeps the cables and the ports undamaged during the swap in the uplink bay.

Which interface class does C9300-NM-4M use in the Cisco IOS XE configuration?

C9300-NM-4M uses the TenGigabitEthernet interface class, even though the four copper ports are multigigabit ports. The valid interfaces are TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through TenGigabitEthernet1/1/4. Configure the ports under these names and do not use other module interface entries that may appear in the output.

Which PID do I order as a spare for C9300-NM-4M?

Order the spare PID C9300-NM-4M=. Cisco lists the module as a copper network module, a field-replaceable uplink module with four Multigigabit Ethernet copper ports. The spare is only for the C9300 SKUs, not for the C9300X switches that use their own module family.

C9300-NM-4M Description

The C9300-NM-4M is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series uplink network module for C9300 modular-uplink access switches that need copper Multigigabit uplinks. The module has four 10G/mGig copper ports, presented as TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through TenGigabitEthernet1/1/4, and has been supported since Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.8.1a. The module fits only C9300 switches, not Catalyst 9300X switches, which use a separate network module family.

Application Scenarios

Copper Multigigabit Uplinks

Where the upstream connection is made over copper, the module gives a C9300 access switch four 10G/mGig ports in place of fiber slots.

Uplink Upgrade In Place

A closet with an installed C9300 switch can add the module to the uplink bay and bring up TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through TenGigabitEthernet1/1/4 without replacing the chassis.

C9300-NM-4M is the copper option among the Catalyst 9300 uplink modules: four 10G/mGig copper ports that appear as TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through 1/1/4. Fiber uplinks need a different module: C9300-NM-4G offers four 1GE SFP slots, C9300-NM-8X eight 10G/1G SFP+ slots, and C9300-NM-2Y two 25G/10G/1G SFP28 slots. C9300-NM-4M and C9300-NM-2Y first shipped in Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.8.1a, later than the Everest 16.5.1a of C9300-NM-4G and C9300-NM-8X. Like the rest of the C9300-NM family, C9300-NM-4M does not fit a Catalyst 9300X switch, which takes C9300X-NM modules.

Ordering Checklist

Catalyst 9300 hosts: Order for Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switches (C9300 SKUs), such as C9300-24P-E, C9300-48P-E, C9300-24T-E and C9300-48T-E. The module fits only the C9300 modular-uplink slot, which these switches provide.
Unsupported hosts: Do not order for Catalyst 9300X switches, which take C9300X-NM modules, or the fixed-uplink C9300L and C9300LM models. Catalyst 9300 network modules do not work across generations, and fixed-uplink models have no module slot.
